Nikolai Sulima

A distant descendant of hetman Ivan Sulyma and numerous Polish noble families, he joined the army early in his life.

He was taken prisoner in the Battle of Austerlitz,[3] but was exchanged for a French officer soon afterwards.

During the Russian campaign against Poland in 1831 he took part in the Battle of Warsaw.

Peter Kropotkin was his grandson, through his daughter Ekaterina Nikolaevna Sulima.
